Next Year.. New year, new grade!

Call me crazy, but my mind is already spinning about next year.  I guess you could say it has a reason to be.  I've been waiting for the announcement to my school to mention it on my blog, but last week I found out that I will be teaching 5th grade again.  I have been teaching 4th grade math & science for the past four years.  I LOVE math and my 4th grade team, but it was time for a change.  Fourth grade is such a tough and stressful year.  It's really the year when students are expected to be responsible for their own learning. Trying to 'train' them is exhausting.  With that said, I'm super excited to announce that I will be teaching 5th grade reading, writing, and language arts to two classes next year.  It's been a while since I've taught these, but I love teaching grammar because it keeps my own grammar fresh ;-)  Writing... well, that's a challenge.  Not many people enjoy writing.  In the past, I detested it... I mean, DID NOT WANT TO DO IT!  When I was in my specialist program at The University of Georgia, I had a class, Writing Pedagogy, which changed the way I teach writing.  I can't wait to go back, review my notebook, and implementing some of my wonderful professor's ideas.  I have also been looking into the premium membership of Spelling City.  Does anyone use the premium membership?  Is it worth it?  I read somewhere on Molly's blog, Lessons with Laughter, about he she uses the premium membership.  I just discovered her blog and I LOVE IT!  She has so many wonderful ideas.  If you aren't familiar with her, go check her out.  I'm interested to see any recommendations you can make for writing instruction.  What are some of your writing professional reads?
